The menu includes a turkey, gravy, rolls, mac and cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie. The pricing will depend on the location but will be valid through Nov. 27.

Walmart is also offering its “inflation-free Thanksgiving meal” which the company said comes out to less than $7 per person.

Shoppers can choose to buy the meal for themselves or to gift it to anyone across the country or even the local Salvation Army unit, the company said.

The items in the meal bundle include a turkey, Hawaiian rolls, corn, cranberry sauce, the makings for a green bean casserole, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato casserole ingredients, stuffing ingredients and potatoes among other items.

Walmart’s promotion runs longer than Aldi’s, until Dec. 24.
